FRIGHTENED, SECRET SELF HARM, AND ELIVATED MOOD?


Yes!!! Then you have manic depression…

Variations in behaviour and thinking, abnormal high and low moods, depression, frightened, secret self-harm are the major symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. In earlier times it is known as Manic Depression. Bipolar disorder is very difficult to diagnose since it has changeability of symptoms. Sometimes it is hard for the person to recognize their own symptoms. A very careful examination and history of patient plays significant role in the diagnosis area.
Previous studies say that antipsychotic medicine was given for patients at high rates and outpatient follow ups are very less in number. At most of the cases Bipolar disorder is diagnosed wrongly as schizophrenia. Factors in neurodevelopment such as delay in child development and premorbid ability may play a major role for the cause of Bipolar disorder. Even children with high academic background are at the greater risk of Bipolar disorder.
When compared with counselling, Bipolar Disorder when treated with lithium gives the lowest risk of rehospitalisation.  Even though Lithium plays a major role in the treatment of bipolar disorder there is an increased option for adjunctive therapy. Very typical treatments for bipolar disorders are mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Triiodothyronine is used to reduce the onset of unipolar depression.
